The purpose of deliverable D13 of PHOME project is to report to the European commission on the Final Plan for the dissemination of the foreground of the PHOME. Hereby we specify and list the dissemination activities throughout the PHOME project.
PHOME participants participated in significant meetings and conferences to collaborate and exchange information with other European research groups throughout the course of PHOME project. Furthermore during the project, several PHOME members delivered popular lectures to general audiences, including activities for reaching out to young students. Over the course of the project, team members have given more than 100 lectures drawing interest to and raising recognition for photonic metamaterial research in general.
PHOME participants disseminated results mainly via over 220 presentations/talks/lectures at international conferences and over 130 publications in renowned journals. These publications appeared in top prestige journals. Over the course of PHOME project, our team members published 3 Science, 2 Nature Photonics, 4 Nano Letters, Nature Materials papers along with numerous PRB and PRL papers.
Moreover, among the presentations mentioned above, there is a wide range of plenary and invited talks given by the members of PHOME project. Aforementioned talks were given at renowned conferences such as 21st Congress of the International Commission for Optics (M. Wegener, Karlsruhe, plenary talk), IEEE-LEOS 2008 (M. Wegener, Karlsruhe, plenary talk), 8th International Conference on “Electrical, Transport and Optical Properties of Inhomogeneous Media” ETOPIM (M. Wegener, Karlsruhe, plenary talk), Photonics Global (J.B. Pendry, Imperial College, plenary talk), PECS VIII (J.B. Pendry, Imperial College, invited talk), Meta’10 2nd International Conference on Metamaterials, Photonic Crystals and Plasmonics (C. M. Soukoulis, FORTH, plenary talk), IEEE Photonics Society Annual Meeting 2009 (E. Ozbay, BILKENT, plenary talk).
Besides these dissemination activities, PHOME partners organized four schools for students on photonic metamaterials, three of them in the framework of Metamorphose European Doctoral Programme on Metamaterials (see Deliverable 16). The 17th European Doctoral School, which was organized by FORTH and was devoted to the electromagnetic characterization of metamaterials, including photonic metamaterials, was the first school of the Programme in which students had the chance to perform real experiments and analyze their experimental data. Besides schools, PHOME partners organized also many sessions on photonic metamaterials at international conferences (see D13). At the end of the project an international symposium, WAVE-PRO, was organized and supported by PHOME, devoted to wave propagation in photonic and electromagnetic crystals, metamaterials and plasmonic materials, where there was extended discussion about PHOME research and results.
Detailed information about the project objectives and results, as well as publications of the PHOME team with their pdf files can be found at the PHOME website
(http://esperia.iesl.forth.gr/~ppm/PHOME/).
Other than the activities mentioned above, PHOME participants have taken a leading role in several debates that took place and was reported in notable newspapers. For instance, the work of the Karlsruhe group was reported in The New York Times: “Strides in Materials, but No Invisibility Cloak”, November 9th, 2010 and in The International Herald Tribune: “Dreaming Up Uses for a Giant Invisibility Machine”, November 29th, 2010. The work of the FORTH group was reported in many Greek newspapers, like Kathimerini, Eleftherotypia, Enthos and Patris.
In addition to these above mentioned dissemination activities, Pendry, Imperial College, delivered a series of lectures in Sydney Australia to the Harry Messel School, where exceptionally bright school children from all over the world are invited to Sydney to participate in 2 weeks of science. The book of lectures for the 36th Professor Harry Messel International School 2011, “Light and Matter”, is available from their web site at: http://www.physics.usyd.edu.au/foundation.old/index_iss.html
PHOME project partners will continue to disseminate the project’s results and outputs via talks/lectures given in conferences, workshops, seminars and PhD schools which will lead to new questions and opportunities for new frontier research on the topic.
The list List of all scientific (peer reviewed) publications relating to the foreground of the project can be found below, in template A1. The talks/lectures given in conferences, workshops, seminars and PhD schools are listed in template A2.
